Ne(x)tworks is a collaborative ensemble
of musicians creating and interpreting work that features a dynamic
relationship between composition and improvisation. In performance and
recordings, the group locates pathways into various types of notation
systems and interfaces, striving for a meaningful dialogue with the
past, present, and future of creative music. Formed in 2002 in New York City, Ne(x)tworks advances the tradition of the 'performing composer' ensemble by frequently presenting full programs of compositions created by its members. The group's repertoire also extends beyond its ranks to encompass the open scores of New York School composers, work by the their European counterparts, further experiments by the composer performers of the AACM and SoHo Scene of the 1970's, the so-called Downtown composers of the 80's, and commissioned works by like-minded contemporary colleagues. Ne(x)tworks' debut recording, Earle Brown: Tracer, is available on Mode Records.
